Björk Guðmundsdóttir was the lead singer for the band from 1986 to 1992. I love her amazing, crazy vocals in this song. I hope you enjoy this tribute. Thank You For Watching. Category The Bjork Picture Pages Dancer in the Dark Background: "Gling-Glï¿½ (1990) was a bigger seller in Iceland than Debut (1993) and all the Sugarcubes' albums put together!

That tells you a lot about Iceland." Bjork Icelandic musician Bjork first gained popularity as the lead singer of the Icelandic rock-pop band Sugarcubes (1988 to 1992). She later launched a solo career with her first solo album, Debut (1993), which spawned the dance single hits "Human Behavior," "Violently Happy" and "Big Time Sensuality." Other albums include Post (1995, spawned the nightclub hits "Hyper-Ballad" and "I Miss You"), Homogenic (1997, spawned the dance single hit "All is Full of Love"), Vespertine (2001) and Medulla (2004). The singer-songwriter also branched out to acting, gathering critical acclaim for starring as immigrant dancer Selma Yeskova in the musical Dancer in the Dark (2000, Bjork won Cannes Film Festival's Best Actress). She also sang the film's soundtrack "I've Seen It All" and earned an Academy Award Best Song nomination. "I find it very difficult to draw a line between what's sex and what isn't.

It can be very, very sexy to drive a car, and completely unsexy to flirt with someone at a bar." Bjork 5' 4" tall Bjork, whose trademarks are her hair, accent and unusual sense of fashion, was one of VH1's "100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll." Her private life has been linked to artists Tricky (one of the originators of the musical genre Trip-Hop; born on January 27, 1968) and Goldie (born on December 28, 1965), as well as photographer Stephane Sednaoui (directed some of her music videos and live performances). The mother of two children, Bjork was once married to Sugarcubes' guitarist ï¿½ï¿½r Eldon and is currently the wife of contemporary media artist Matthew Barney. A good friend of artists Madonna, P.J.

Harvey and Tori Amos, Bjork co-wrote the Madonna song "Bedtime Stories." The eccentric artist, who drew attention while wearing the "swan dress" (reportedly will be auctioned off for charity in September of 2005) at the 73rd Annual Academy Awards, recently mentioned that she would never make another movie due to the difficulties she experienced while making Dancer in The Dark (2000). She headlined the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Olympic games in Athens and recently released a double album of remixes to raise money for charity. Birch Tree Childhood and Family: "People are always asking me about Eskimos, but there are no Eskimos in Iceland." Bjork In Reykjavik, Iceland, Bjï¿½rk Gudmundsdï¿½ttir (Bjï¿½rk means "a birch tree" and Gudmundsdï¿½ttir means "Gudmund's daughter" in Icelandic) was born on November 21, 1965.

Her parents, Gudmundur Gunnarsson (was an electrician) and Hildur Hauksdï¿½ttir (went on three-week political hunger strike in 2002) divorced before she reached two years old. Bjork subsequently spent her childhood in a hippie community with her mother and her six siblings (three sisters and three brothers). She also has a stepfather, Sï¿½var ï¿½rnason, a former member of a rock band in Iceland. "When I was growing up, I always had the feeling I was dropped from somewhere else. That's how I was treated at school in Iceland where the kids used to call me "china girl" and everybody thought I was unusual because I looked Chinese." Bjork Bjork attended Reykjaviks music school and married Sugarcubes guitarist ï¿½ï¿½r Eldon. After their divorce, Bjork married (2000) contemporary media artist Matthew Barney and has one daughter with him, Isadora (born on October 3, 2002).

Bjork also has a son with ï¿½ï¿½r Eldon named Sindri Eldon ï¿½ï¿½rson (born on June 8, 1986). In recognition of her contribution to promoting Iceland overseas, the government presented her the island of Ellidaey, off the coast of Iceland. Celebration of Oxygen Career: "All people have their own way of dealing with everyday problems. Some go for walks, others get drunk and some get laid. I write songs." Bjork 5-year-old Bjork began studying classical piano at age 5 and had been a professional child vocalist. A path toward success opened up when her teachers delivered a record of her singing Tina Charles' "I Love to Love" to Iceland's Radio One. A representative of a record label listened to Bjork's voice on air and subsequently signed her to a record deal. In 1977, when she was 11 years old, Bjork released her self-titled debut album consisting of traditional Icelandic folk songs and international hits translated to Icelandic. It also consisted of several popular song covers, including the Beatles' "Fool on the Hill" and a tribute to Iceland's greatest landscape artist, Johannes S.

Kjarval. The album became a hit. Punk music began influencing the music scene in the late 1970s. During that time, Bjork set up the brief-lived all-girl punk band called Spit and Snot, in which she was the drummer. Shortly after, she joined jazz-fusion band Exodus and appeared on Icelandic television. After graduating music school, Bjork and Exodus bassist Jakob Magnï¿½sson established another band called Tappi Tï¿½karrass in 1981. They released an extended single, " Bitiï¿½ fast ï¿½ vitiï¿½," that same year, featuring songs of Icelandic New Wave music and launched an album titled Miranda in 1983. In 1984, Bjork joined Einar ï¿½rn Benediktsson and Einar Melax (from the band Purrkur Pillnikk) and Guï¿½laugur ï¿½ttarsson, Sigtryggur Baldursson and Birgir Mogensen (from the band ï¿½eyr) in the Goth music band KUKL (Icelandic for "witch").

Under Crass Records, the band produced two albums, The Eye (1984) and Holidays in Europe (1986). They also toured Iceland with UK anarchist band Crass and performed in the UK with Flux of Pink Indians. Additionally, Bjork made her acting debut starring as one of the witch's daughters in an Icelandic tale of witchcraft and mysticism, adopted from a Brothers Grimm story, the independent film The Juniper Tree (filmed in 1986, screened at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival). She also played a troubled teen in the Icelandic TV-movie "Glerbrot" in 1987. Bjork, her husband ï¿½ï¿½r Eldon, and some of her KUKL band mates formed a rock-pop band called Pukl in the summer of 1986, but soon changed the name to Sugarcubes.

After releasing their first single "Birthday" (1987), Sugarcubes launched their debut album, the US and Europe hit Life's Too Good (1988, spawned the hit single "Motorcrash") and later, Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week (1989, produced the hit song "Regina"), Stick Around for Joy (1992, with the modern rock smash hit "Hit") and It's-It (1992), all under USA's Elektra Records. The band later performed on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in October of 1988. Bjork and the group Trio Guï¿½mundar Ingï¿½lfssonar recorded a collection of popular jazz and original work titled Gling-Glï¿½ (1990, nationally released). She also featured 808 State's "Ooops." Following the split of Sugarcubes in 1992, Bjork moved to London to begin her solo career. Along with producer Nellee Hooper (produced Massive Attack and others), in June of 1993, Bjork released her first international solo album titled Debut.

The album, which was influenced by the British dance scene, climbed the UK album charts to No 3 and was a huge commercial hit. It spawned the US dance single hits "Human Behaviour" (1993, charted at No. 2), "Violently Happy" (1993, poled at No. 4) and "Big Time Sensuality" (1994, topped at No. 1). Other singles include "Venus as a Boy" (1993, went to No. 29 on UK charts) and "Play Dead" (1993, with David Arnold, spotted at No. 12 on UK charts). Debut became New Musical Express' album of the year and finally received platinum status in the United States. Bjork also wrote Madonna's single "Bedtime Story" (1995) for the 1994 album Bedtime Stories. Bjork also appeared on the silver screen with a cameo role in Robert Altman's star-studded acclaimed comedy Prï¿½t-ï¿½-Porter (1994, a.k.a.

Ready to Wear), alongside Sophia Loren, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Marcello Mastroianni and Kim Basinger. With the assistance of Nellee Hooper, Tricky, Graham Massey of 808 State, and electronic music producer Howie B, Bjork recorded her sophomore album Post in 1994. It was released in June of 1995 and spawned the US No. 1 hit singles "Hyperballad" (1996) and "I Miss You" (1997). It also produced such popular songs as 1995's "Army of Me," "Isobel" and "It's Oh So Quiet." Post hit the UK album charts at No. 2 and eventually went platinum in the US. In January of 1997, the third album, Telegram, was released. It consisted of several atypical remixes of songs from Post. In October that year, Bjork performed on the widely seen show "Saturday Night Live." Bjork then flew to Spain to record her next album, Homogenic, which was released in late 1997.

Collaborating with producers Mark Bell of LFO and Howie B, Bjork's album produced the hit "All is Full of Love" (1999). The album also created the memorable songs "Jï¿½ga," "Bachelorette" (both in 1997), "Hunter" and "Alarm Call" (both in 1998). Homogenic eventually certified gold in the States in 2001. Film director Lars von Trier spotted Bjork in her music video "It's Oh So Quiet." The Danish filmmaker offered Bjork the lead role, and chance to compose the music, for his new musical drama Dancer in the Dark (2000). Bjork eventually took the starring role of Selma, a Czechoslovakian immigrant and a single mother, and shared the screen with Catherine Deneuve and David Morse. Her acting performance garnered critical reviews and won her a Cannes Film Festival award for Best Actress. Bjork also composed "I've Seen it All" (later released in her 2000 album titled Selmasongs), for the soundtrack, which earned a nomination for Best Song at the Academy Awards.

"I knew when I said yes that this would be not only my first role but also my last one. I'm very happy that it's to be this one." Asked whether she might one day reconsider, Bjork responded: "I have to do records now. I only have 50 years left and I've got a lot of records to make." Bjork (after winning the Best Actress award at Cannes). Following the release of her average-success 2000 album Selmasongs, Bjork launched her next album, Vespertine, in 2001. With the help of experimental sound manipulators Matmos, a DJ from Denmark named Thomas Knak, and the experimental harpist Zeena Parkins, Vespertine featured chamber orchestras, Icelandic choirs, soft vocals, and personal, susceptible themes. It spawned the 2001 songs "Hidden Place" and "Pagan Poetry" as well as 2002's "Cocoon." Vespertine spotted the US album charts at No. 19 and reached No. 8 on the UK charts.

"The album's very much about being alone in your house, in a very quiet sort of introverted mood and you whisper, you sort of improvise. Which is between me and myself." Bjork (on album Vespertine) In 2002, Bjork launched the CD box set Family Tree and the album Greatest Hits, which produced the new single "It's in Our Hands" (charted the UK at No. 37). The following year saw Bjork releasing a series of low-cost DVDs and CD box sets titled Live Box. "After doing the research with all the vocals on Medï¿½lla (2004), I was very curious to take that further to a place that was not narrative. Then, when Matthew explained that the film happens on the ocean, I was curious to make vocal patterns that were sort of oceanic. My music is very much about structure, whereas Matthew is much more abstract. I have to have a map and a compass to see the nal point before I start the journey, and then I can meet 10 lions or whatever." Bjork Medï¿½lla, Bjork's next album, hit the music stores in August of 2004.

In the album she used the vocal skills of Hip Hop Beatboxer Rahzel, avant-rocker Mike Patton, Soft Machine drummer/singer Robert Wyatt and several choirs. She also applied text from poet E. E. Cummings for the song "Sonnets/Unrealities XI." Medï¿½lla spawned four singles, the 2004 "Oceania" and "Who is It" (charted UK at No. 26) as well as 2005's "Triumph of a Heart" (charted the UK at No.31) and "Where is the Line" (was filmed in collaboration with the Icelandic artist Gabrï¿½ela Fridriksdï¿½ttir in late 2004). As for "Oceania," Bjork composed the song and performed it at the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. "I am incredibly honored to have been asked to write a song and sing it at the Olympics. The song is written from the point of view of the ocean that surrounds all the land and watches over the humans to see how they are doing after millions of years of evolution.

It sees no borders, different races or religion, which has always been at the core of these games." Bjork Army of Me-Xes, the covering and remixing of the 1995 hit "Army of Me," was released in April in the UK and in late May 2005 in the US. It topped at No.14 on the dance album charts in the UK. The project was geared toward raising money for tsunami victims in Asia. "Trying to even start to explain the film is kind of challenging, but with my little alcohol-pickled brain, it's really tough. I guess that's the point with the way Matthew sets it up, because there is no story. You just have to sit there and enjoy it, a bit like nature. The film has a narrative, but a really abstract one. It's not your average Hollywood movie, let's put it that way." Bjork (about Drawing Restraint 9, 2005). Drawing Restraint 9, an album consisting of a soundtrack for husband Matthew Barney's new movie of the same title, was released on July 25, 2005, in the UK and on August 23 in the US.

Bjork reportedly is working on her newest album and will soon embark on an extensive tour. "Singing is like a celebration of oxygen."

For most of their career, the band consisted of Björk Guðmundsdóttir (vocals, keyboards), Einar Örn Benediktsson (vocals, trumpet), Þór Eldon (guitar), Bragi Ólafsson (bass), Magga Örnólfsdóttir (keyboards) and Sigtryggur Baldursson (drums). Lead singer Björk would later become an internationally successful solo musician and the best selling Icelandic musician of all.. read more Björk | New Music And Songs | Björk About Björk Björk first came to prominence as one of the lead vocalists of the avant pop Icelandic sextet the Sugarcubes, but when she launched a solo career after the group's 1992 demise, she quickly eclipsed her old band's popularity. Instead of following in the Sugarcubes' arty guitar rock pretensions, Björk immersed herself in dance and club culture, working with many of the biggest names in the genre, including Nellee Hooper, Underworld, and Tricky.

Debut, her first solo effort (except for an Icelandic-only smash released when she was just 11 years old), not only established her new artistic direction, but it became an international hit, making her one of the most unlikely stars of the '90s. Though the title of Debut implied that it was Björk's first-ever solo project, she had actually been a professional vocalist since she was a child. When she was in elementary school in Reykjavik, she studied classical piano and, eventually, her teachers submitted a tape of her singing Tina Charles' "I Love to Love" to Iceland's Radio One. After "I Love to Love" was aired, a record label called Falkkin offered Björk a record contract. At the age of 11, her eponymous first album was released; the record contained covers of several pop songs, including the Beatles' "Fool on the Hill," and boasted artwork from her mother and guitar work from her stepfather. Björk became a hit within Iceland and was not released in any other country.

Björk's musical tastes were changed by the punk revolution of the late '70s; in 1979, she formed a post-punk group called Exodus and, in the following year, she sang in Jam 80. In 1981, Björk and Exodus bassist Jakob Magnusson formed Tappi Tikarrass, which released an EP, Bitid Fast I Vitid, on Spor later that year; it was followed by the full-length Miranda in 1983. Following Tappi Tikarrass, she formed the goth-tinged post-punk group KUKL with Einar Orn Benediktsson. KUKL released two albums, The Eye (1984) and Holidays in Europe (1986), on Crass Records before the band metamorphosed into the Sugarcubes in the summer of 1986. The Sugarcubes became one of the rare Icelandic bands to break out of their native country when their debut album, Life's Too Good, became a British and American hit in 1988. For the next four years, the group maintained a successful cult following in the U.K. and the U.S.

while they were stars within Iceland. During 1990, Björk recorded a set of jazz standards and originals with an Icelandic bebop group called Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar. The album, Gling-Gló, was released only in Iceland. By 1992, tensions between Björk and Einar had grown substantially, which resulted in the band splitting apart. Following the breakup of the group, Björk moved to London, where she began pursuing a dance-oriented solo career. The previous year, she had sung on 808 State's "Ooops," which sparked her interest in club and house music. Björk struck up a working relationship with Nellee Hooper, a producer who had formerly worked with Soul II Soul and Massive Attack. The first result of their partnership was "Human Behaviour," which was released in June of 1993. "Human Behaviour" became a Top 40 hit in the U.K., setting the stage for the surprising number three debut of the full-length album, Debut. Throughout 1993, Björk had hit U.K.

singles -- including "Venus as a Boy," "Big Time Sensuality," and the non-LP "Play Dead," a collaboration with David Arnold taken from the film Young Americans -- as well as modern rock radio hits in the U.S., and in both countries she earned rave reviews. At the end of the year, NME magazine named Debut the album of the year, while she won International Female Solo Artist and Newcomer at the BRIT Awards; Debut went gold in the U.S. and platinum in the U.K. During 1994, Björk was relatively quiet as she recorded her second album with Nellee Hooper, Tricky, 808 State's Graham Massey, and Howie B of Mo' Wax Records; she also released a remix EP, co-wrote Madonna's "Bedtime Stories," and performed on MTV Unplugged that same year. "Army of Me," the first single from Björk's forthcoming album, was released as a teaser single in the spring of 1995; it debuted at number ten in the U.K. and became a moderate alternative rock hit in the U.S.

Post, her second album, was released in June of 1995 to positive reviews; it peaked at number two in the U.K. and number 32 in the U.S. Post matched its predecessor in terms of sales and praise, going gold in the U.S. and helping her earn her second BRIT Award for Best International Female Artist. Post yielded the British hit singles "Isobel" (number 23), "It's Oh So Quiet" (number four), and "Hyperballad" (number eight), yet her singles failed to make much headway on American radio or MTV. Late in 1996, Björk released Telegram, an album comprising radical remixes of the entire Post album, in the U.K.; Telegram was released in America in January 1997. Homogenic, her most experimental studio effort to date, followed later that same year and spawned many remix releases in the next few years to follow. In the spring of 2000, she was named Best Actress by jurors at the Cannes Film Festival for her work in Lars Von Trier's Palme d'Or-winning Dancer in the Dark.

Selmasongs, her score for the film, reunited Björk with her Homogenic collaborator Mark Bell and arrived in the fall of 2000, just in time for Dancer in the Dark's U.S. release. The full-length follow-up, Vespertine, was released one year later. She released a Greatest Hits collection and the Family Tree box set late in 2002. After performing a few dates in 2003, Björk geared up for a busy 2004, which included the release of her all-vocals and vocal samples-based album Medúlla and a performance of one of its songs, "Oceania," at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The soundtrack to Drawing Restraint 9, a film by multimedia artist Matthew Barney, arrived in 2005 and also featured contributions from Will Oldham. Released in 2007, Volta returned to the more playful, percussive side of Björk's music and included collaborations with Timbaland, Toumani Diabaté, Antony Hegarty, and an all-female Icelandic choir.

Her tour supporting the album was a lavish affair, as chronicled in the 2009 set Voltaic, which was released in sets ranging from a CD/DVD to limited multi-disc and vinyl editions. While she was touring the world in support of Volta, Björk began work on her most ambitious project to date: Biophilia, an interactive exploration of humanity's relationships to sound and the universe that would also educate listeners/viewers about music theory and science. Initially envisioned as a musical house, then an IMAX film directed by Michel Gondry, Biophilia -- which took shape with the help of engineers, scientists, and video game designers -- was eventually released as a suite of apps for the iPad and iPhone. The album, which was also released on CD, arrived in October 2011. Bastards, a collection of Biophilia remixes, was released in Europe in late 2012 and in the U.S. in early 2013. Around that time, Björk launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund translating the Biophilia app for Android and Windows 8 platforms. Though the campaign was canceled after ten days, the app was translated to Android in July 2013.

That month, she also appeared in When Björk Met Attenborough, a BBC Channel 4 documentary with Sir David Attenborough and scientist Oliver Sacks that related Biophilia to humanity's relationship with music. In 2014, Björk contributed vocals to Death Grips' album Niggas on the Moon. She also continued the Biophilia project with a live concert film, Biophilia Live. Filmed at London's Alexandra Palace and featuring spectacular visuals, it was released theatrically and in DVD and Blu-Ray sets that also included the live audio on CD. Late that year, it was announced that producers Arca and the Haxan Cloak collaborated on her upcoming album. Vulnicura, which traced the aftermath of Björk's relationship with Matthew Barney and harked back to the sounds of Vespertine and Homogenic, arrived in January 2015 after it was leaked ahead of its scheduled March release date. An acoustic version of the album, Vulnicura Strings, arrived at the end of 2015 and featured the viola organista, a keyboard-driven string instrument designed by Leonardo da Vinci.

That year, Vulnicura Live, which featured Björk's favorite performances of the album's songs as well as some chosen from her other albums, was given a limited release; wider distribution followed in 2016. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Cat (Icelandic) | The Sugarcubes Lyrics, Song Meanings, Videos, Full Albums & Bios * Margrét (Magga) Örnólfsdóttir (keyboards) - 1989+. * Einar Melax (keyboards) - 1987-89 Length: PT2M56S Lyrics: Cat We have lyrics for 'Cat' by these artists: A Pink Saljjag kung saljjag kung aikung Saljjag kung saljjag jjag j… AOL 5-6-7-8!

The Sugarcubes Biography | OLDIES.com The Sugarcubes Biography Overview Biography Songs Similar Artists DVDs CDs Vinyl This offbeat pop band was formed in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 8 June 1986, the date taken from the birth of lead singer Björks son Sindri. The settled line-up featured Björk Gudmundsdóttir (21 November 1965, Reykjavík, Iceland; vocals/keyboards), Bragí Ólaffson (b. 11 August 1962, Reykjavík, Iceland; bass), Einar Örn (b.

Einar Örn Benediktsson, 29 October 1962, Iceland; vocals/trumpet), Margrét Magga Örnólfsdóttir (keyboards, replacing original keyboard player Einar Mellax), Sigtryggur Siggi Baldursson (b. 2 October 1962, Norway; drums), and Thór Eldon (guitar). Björks stepfather was in a rock showband, and after early stage appearances she completed her first album at the age of 11. She was also the singer for prototype groups Tappi Tíkarrass then Theyr, alongside Siggi Baldursson. The latter band shot to prominence when Jaz Coleman and Youth (Killing Joke) mysteriously appeared in Iceland in March 1982, paranoid about an impending apocalypse, and collaborated on several projects with Theyr.

Björk, Benediktsson and Baldursson then went on to form Kukl, who toured Europe and released two records on the Crass label, establishing a link with the UK anarcho-punk scene that would be cemented when the band joined UK independent label One Little Indian Records. The Sugarcubes debut single, Birthday, and album, Lifes Too Good, saw the band championed in the UK press almost immediately. In particular, praise was heaped on Björks distinctive and emotive vocals. The Sugarcubes ran their own company in Iceland called Bad Taste, an organization that encompassed an art gallery, poetry bookshop, record label, radio station, and publishing house. Björks ex-husband Thór Eldon, a graduate in media studies from London Polytechnic and the bands guitarist, sired their son Sindri under a government incentive scheme to boost the islands population, the financial rewards for this action allowing him to buy a pair of contact lenses. He then married Magga Örnólfsdóttir (ex-the Giant Lizard), who joined the band in time for their second album.

In addition, Siggi Baldursson and Bragí Ólaffson, the bands rhythm section, were brother-in-laws, having married twin sisters. Most bizarre of all, however, was the supposed marriage of Einar Örn and Bragí Ólaffson in Denmark in 1989, allegedly the first openly gay marriage in pop history, although later comments from both men indicated that the report was a record company fabrication. The next Sugarcubes release Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, its title taken from a line in Kenneth Graemes book Wind In The Willows, was a much more elaborate album, with a full brass section on Tidal Wave and strings on the single Planet. However, compared with the rapturous reception granted their first album, Here Today took a critical pasting. Even label boss Derek Birkett conceded that it was far too deliberate. The press was also quick to seize on the fact that Benediktssons vocal interjections detracted from the bands performance. After much touring, the Sugarcubes returned to Reykjavík, where they followed their own interests for a time.

Björk collaborated on the Bad Taste album Glimg Glo, while other members of spent time as an alternative jazz orchestra. The band then played a concert for President Mitterand of France, in Reykjavík, and Björk joined 808 State on their Ex:El album and single, Oops. The Sugarcubes third album, 1992s Stick Around For Joy, found them in favour with the music press and back in the charts with Hit, but the inevitable happened shortly afterwards, with Björk heading for a critically and commercially rewarding solo career. The original line-up of the Sugarcubes reunited on 17 November 2006 to play a one-off concert in Reykhavík to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their debut single.

Instead of following in the Sugarcubes ' arty guitar rock pretensions, Björk immersed herself in dance and club culture, working with many of the biggest names in the genre, including Nellee Hooper, Underworld , and Tricky . Debut, her first solo effort (except for an Icelandic-only smash released when she was just 11 years old), not only established her new artistic direction, but it became an international hit, making her one of the most unlikely stars of the '90s. Though the title of Debut implied that it was Björk's first-ever solo project, she had actually been a professional vocalist since she was a child. When she was in elementary school in Reykjavik, she studied classical piano and, eventually, her teachers submitted a tape of her singing Tina Charles ' "I Love to Love" to Iceland's Radio One.

After "I Love to Love" was aired, a record label called Falkkin offered Björk a record contract. At the age of 11, her eponymous first album was released; the record contained covers of several pop songs, including the Beatles ' "Fool on the Hill," and boasted artwork from her mother and guitar work from her stepfather. Björk became a hit within Iceland and was not released in any other country. Björk's musical tastes were changed by the punk revolution of the late '70s; in 1979, she formed a post-punk group called Exodus and, in the following year, she sang in Jam 80. In 1981, Björk and Exodus bassist Jakob Magnusson formed Tappi Tikarrass, which released an EP, Bitid Fast I Vitid, on Spor later that year; it was followed by the full-length Miranda in 1983. Following Tappi Tikarrass, she formed the goth-tinged post-punk group KUKL with Einar Orn Benediktsson.

KUKL released two albums, The Eye (1984) and Holidays in Europe (1986), on Crass Records before the band metamorphosed into the Sugarcubes in the summer of 1986. The Sugarcubes became one of the rare Icelandic bands to break out of their native country when their debut album, Life's Too Good, became a British and American hit in 1988. For the next four years, the group maintained a successful cult following in the U.K. and the U.S. while they were stars within Iceland. During 1990, Björk recorded a set of jazz standards and originals with an Icelandic bebop group called Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar. The album, Gling-Gló, was released only in Iceland. By 1992, tensions between Björk and Einar had grown substantially, which resulted in the band splitting apart. Following the breakup of the group, Björk moved to London, where she began pursuing a dance-oriented solo career. The previous year, she had sung on 808 State 's "Ooops," which sparked her interest in club and house music.

Björk struck up a working relationship with Nellee Hooper, a producer who had formerly worked with Soul II Soul and Massive Attack . The first result of their partnership was "Human Behaviour," which was released in June of 1993. "Human Behaviour" became a Top 40 hit in the U.K., setting the stage for the surprising number three debut of the full-length album, Debut. Throughout 1993, Björk had hit U.K. singles -- including "Venus as a Boy," "Big Time Sensuality," and the non-LP "Play Dead," a collaboration with David Arnold taken from the film Young Americans -- as well as modern rock radio hits in the U.S., and in both countries she earned rave reviews. At the end of the year, NME magazine named Debut the album of the year, while she won International Female Solo Artist and Newcomer at the BRIT Awards; Debut went gold in the U.S. and platinum in the U.K.

During 1994, Björk was relatively quiet as she recorded her second album with Nellee Hooper, Tricky , 808 State 's Graham Massey, and Howie B of Mo' Wax Records ; she also released a remix EP, co-wrote Madonna 's "Bedtime Stories," and performed on MTV Unplugged that same year. "Army of Me," the first single from Björk's forthcoming album, was released as a teaser single in the spring of 1995; it debuted at number ten in the U.K. and became a moderate alternative rock hit in the U.S. Post, her second album, was released in June of 1995 to positive reviews; it peaked at number two in the U.K. and number 32 in the U.S. Post matched its predecessor in terms of sales and praise, going gold in the U.S. and helping her earn her second BRIT Award for Best International Female Artist.

Post yielded the British hit singles "Isobel" (number 23), "It's Oh So Quiet" (number four), and "Hyperballad" (number eight), yet her singles failed to make much headway on American radio or MTV. Late in 1996, Björk released Telegram, an album comprising radical remixes of the entire Post album, in the U.K.; Telegram was released in America in January 1997. Homogenic, her most experimental studio effort to date, followed later that same year and spawned many remix releases in the next few years to follow. In the spring of 2000, she was named Best Actress by jurors at the Cannes Film Festival for her work in Lars Von Trier's Palme d'Or-winning Dancer in the Dark. Selmasongs, her score for the film, reunited Björk with her Homogenic collaborator Mark Bell and arrived in the fall of 2000, just in time for Dancer in the Dark's U.S. release. The full-length follow-up, Vespertine, was released one year later. She released a Greatest Hits collection and the Family Tree box set late in 2002.

After performing a few dates in 2003, Björk geared up for a busy 2004, which included the release of her all-vocals and vocal samples-based album Medúlla and a performance of one of its songs, "Oceania," at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The soundtrack to Drawing Restraint 9, a film by multimedia artist Matthew Barney, arrived in 2005 and also featured contributions from Will Oldham . Released in 2007, Volta returned to the more playful, percussive side of Björk's music and included collaborations with Timbaland , Toumani Diabaté , Antony Hegarty, and an all-female Icelandic choir. Her tour supporting the album was a lavish affair, as chronicled in the 2009 set Voltaic, which was released in sets ranging from a CD/DVD to limited multi-disc and vinyl editions. While she was touring the world in support of Volta, Björk began work on her most ambitious project to date: Biophilia, an interactive exploration of humanity's relationships to sound and the universe that would also educate listeners/viewers about music theory and science.

Initially envisioned as a musical house, then an IMAX film directed by Michel Gondry, Biophilia -- which took shape with the help of engineers, scientists, and video game designers -- was eventually released as a suite of apps for the iPad and iPhone. The album, which was also released on CD, arrived in October 2011. Bastards, a collection of Biophilia remixes, was released in Europe in late 2012 and in the U.S. in early 2013. Around that time, Björk launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund translating the Biophilia app for Android and Windows 8 platforms. Though the campaign was canceled after ten days, the app was translated to Android in July 2013. That month, she also appeared in When Björk Met Attenborough, a BBC Channel 4 documentary with Sir David Attenborough and scientist Oliver Sacks that related Biophilia to humanity's relationship with music. In 2014, Björk contributed vocals to Death Grips ' album Niggas on the Moon. She also continued the Biophilia project with a live concert film, Biophilia Live.

Filmed at London's Alexandra Palace and featuring spectacular visuals, it was released theatrically and in DVD and Blu-Ray sets that also included the live audio on CD. Late that year, it was announced that producers Arca and the Haxan Cloak collaborated on her upcoming album. Vulnicura, which traced the aftermath of Björk's relationship with Matthew Barney and harked back to the sounds of Vespertine and Homogenic, arrived in January 2015 after it was leaked ahead of its scheduled March release date. An acoustic version of the album, Vulnicura Strings, arrived at the end of 2015 and featured the viola organista, a keyboard-driven string instrument designed by Leonardo da Vinci. That year, Vulnicura Live, which featured Björk's favorite performances of the album's songs as well as some chosen from her other albums, was given a limited release; wider distribution followed in 2016. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Read More Show less
